Chapter 29 Showing merit?
In mid-April, the spring plowing season in most prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty has ended.
Yanzhou.
With the implementation of the new military policy, Yanzhou is now prosperous everywhere.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the entire Han Dynasty and various prefectures and counties have been affected to a greater or lesser extent.
The implementation of the new policy makes the people of Yanzhou finally seem to breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiyu and Dianwei saw too many things during their slow journey.
Those people who were finally allocated farmland again felt like they were working hard to farm in the spring.
They carefully guarded the seedlings in the fields, fearing that they would withstand the slightest bit of wind and rain.
It feels like you are protecting their lives.
The civilians in the turmoil are the worst off. Whether they are the Yellow Turbans or the princes from all over the country, civilians are the target of being hijacked.
What they most want to see is such a stable life.
Nearing the middle of the month, Xi Yu and Dian Wei saw the not-so-high city wall in Changyi County.
Crowds of people come and go outside the city gate.
In just a few months, the current situation in Changyi County has become somewhat different from before.
Changyi Lobby!
Xi Yu, who had just returned, received a summons from Cao Cao not long after.
Above the lobby, Cao Cao sat in the chief position, with counselors and generals sitting cross-legged on both sides.
There is obviously a seat for Xi Yu on the right side of Xi Zhicai.
Xi Yu sat down next to Xi Zhicai, and as far as he could see, there were already some unfamiliar figures in the entire lobby.
Across Xi Zhicai, Xi Yu glanced at Xun Yu's original position with some confusion.
At this moment, the seat was empty. Logically speaking, Xun Yu should be present during this discussion, but he did not see Xun Yu.
This makes him a little curious?
"Fengyi, Fengyi is back!"
At this time, when he saw Xi Yu sitting down, Cao Cao, who was sitting in the front seat, nodded towards Xi Yu with a smile on his face.
As Cao Cao finished speaking, the new advisers and generals beside him all raised their eyes to look at Xi Yu who was sitting on one side.
During this period, Xi Yu's reputation was extremely loud throughout Cao Ying.
These new advisers and generals are somewhat curious about Xi Yu.
See you this time.
When I first saw him, I just felt that the handsome Xi Yufeng in front of me seemed a bit like an elegant celebrity.
However, judging by his age, he looks a little young.
Cao Ren and others across from him smiled at Xi Yu, who nodded in response.
Cao Cao spoke again: "Fengyi, you have worked hard for this spring plowing!"
After praising Xi Yu, Cao Cao smiled.
Just the implementation of the military garrison policy, within a few months, the situation in Yanzhou has been turned upside down.
Such a scene made Cao Cao feel heroic.
Now, Yanzhou has prospered, and this discussion is to decide how Yanzhou will develop in the future.
Regarding Cao Cao's compliments, Xi Yu gently nodded and accepted.
Xi Zhicai had a smile on his face and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Cao Cao, the leader, spoke again: "Everyone, the spring plowing has been completed and I plan to conquer Tao Qian. What do you think?"
After finishing the expression, Cao Cao changed the topic, looked cold and handsome, and began to bluntly say that he planned to attack Tao Qian.
As soon as these words were spoken, the generals below had already become impatient.
"My lord, I am willing to lead the army to attack Xuzhou!"
The first one to stand up was Xia Houyuan.
Before, Yuan Shu invaded Yanzhou, and Tao Qian also invaded Yanzhou from the other side. Although the Xiahou brothers repelled each other, in the end they still held back their anger.
Now that Yuan Shu is no longer a threat, Cao Ying is naturally eager to send troops to Xuzhou.
Xia Houyuan had just asked for orders, and all the generals behind him also stood up.
Xi Yu didn't care about this situation.
At this moment, he was looking at a young man on the right.
This person was young and looked to be around ten years old. As soon as he sat down, he noticed that the other person had been looking at him.
After Xi Yu looked over, the other party quickly raised his hand towards Xi Yu.
"Man Chong, I have met Mr. Xi!"
"Full love?"
Is this guy a favorite?
Xi Yu is naturally somewhat familiar with this name, although his reputation is not very prominent throughout the Three Kingdoms.
However, in Cao Ying, Man Chong's reputation is quite good.
This guy in the future will be an official in Cao's camp and a top player in the Ministry of Punishment.
Of course, in this era, the Ministry of Justice has not yet said this, but the fact that this guy was appointed by Cao Cao as the magistrate of Xu County is enough to show that Cao Cao values this person.
"Hmm!"
Xiyu nodded, and they seemed to know each other.
Cao Cao, who had mastered this skill, nodded: "In this case, you will discuss the expedition to Xuzhou!"
In just a few words, the entire Cao camp had decided on the expedition to Xuzhou.
"Lord, now that Yanzhou has a large new population, we cannot guarantee military rations for this expedition. If we want to go to Xuzhou, we must do it after the autumn harvest!"
Xi Zhicai spoke leisurely. Originally, Xun Yu should have spoken out about this kind of thing, but because this guy is not here now, he can only speak on his behalf.
Cao Cao nodded.
Regarding the matter of food and grass, he naturally knew that the expedition to Xuzhou was just to set the tone!
And if the spring plowing goes well, there will naturally be no problem in going on an expedition after autumn.
When Xi Yu heard that the next discussion seemed to have nothing to do with him, he couldn't help but start to lose his mind.
However, not long after, Cao Cao suddenly looked towards him.
"Fengyi, I would like to report to the imperial court to express your contribution to the spring plowing of the fields. What do you think?"
After the things that should be discussed were almost finished, Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu who was a little lost in thought, and then he remembered that it was time to reward the other party.
What is a so-called military commander?
This official position was only a temporary one for him, but as the farming policy brought about such great changes in Yanzhou, Xi Yu's contribution could no longer be covered up.
After that, Xi Yuyou brought out the three-piece horse suit, which greatly improved Cao's army's combat power.
At this moment, in terms of his achievements, all the generals in Cao Ying are happy to see his achievements.
"Ayu, is the master calling you?"
Seeing Xi Yu lost in thought, Xi Zhi reached out and pushed his younger brother.
After Xi Yu came to his senses and understood that Cao Cao wanted to show his merit, Xi Yu did not refuse.
At present, there are more and more newcomers in Cao Ying, and there will be even more newcomers in Cao Ying in the future. Xi Yu will naturally not refuse such things as showing merit.
"It all depends on the master!"
Xi Yu nodded and Cao Cao grinned.
He was also worried that Xi Yu would refuse again, but unexpectedly, Xi Yu agreed directly.
But that's fine. If he didn't confer power on the other party, he would feel uncomfortable.
Chapter completed!
